1. Chapter 1 : Lacey

Chapter One

Lacey

It was such a long time ago. I had parents. I was happy. But then, everything changed. All I remember are flames, screams, and ashes. Soon, I remember sitting on an orphanage bed, gazing out into the sunset…

I woke with a start, finding tears streaked down my face and sweat pouring down my hair line. I quickly wiped away the tears and checked the cork board. What day was it? I didn't even know. "What day is it?" I asked myself, poking my calendar. I came here on a…Tuesday, so that meant I've been here for…5 days? God, I don't even know! I looked out the window, a small box in the wall with bars, and by the hight of the sun, I would guess it was early afternoon. That meant lunch would be coming soon.

I heard a scratch of concrete and I quickly jumped up, set my book down, and ran to the door. "Wait! Excuse me!" I yelled, and I heard footsteps retreat back to my cell. "What?" The guard snapped. "What day is it?" "Friday, October 10th." The guard said, and left before I could get more questions. I huffed, and walked to my cork board. Good, it was shower day. I would be called in the next three hours.

I took off my robe, and stepped into the shower. After I had washed myself, I stepped out of the shower and quickly put my robes back on, and I exited and got back into my clothes, and retreated back to my cell. "GIVE IT BACK!" A scream made me turn my head, and I pressed my face against the cell bars. It was a girl with brown hair, and her skin was peeling. I don't know what from. "Ms. Marvolo, if you don't cooperate, I will have to send you to Tartarus." The guard said, but the girl didn't seem to notice. "IT'S MINE GIVE IT BACK!" The girl screamed again. "Ms. Marvolo—" "IT'S ALL I HAVE OF HER, GIVE. IT. BACK!" She screamed and lunged for the guard, but was stunned and she fell onto the ground, sobbing. "Wait!" I wanted to scream, but I knew better than to run my mouth. I just watched as another guard dragged her to her cell, and the girl didn't react. She just sat there, sobbing, shaking uncontrollably.

"What did they take?" I asked myself as I sat back down on my bed, staring at my bookmark. But I'd guessed I'd never know.
